Ireland expands home energy grants, adds €2,000 boiler scrappage incentive

The Irish Government approved an expansion of home energy grants, introducing a €2,000 payment to incentivize households to replace fossil fuel heating with heat pumps or renewables. This policy shift accelerates the transition away from fossil fuels in residential heating, potentially boosting demand for heat pump installations and related services. The measure is part of a broader push to meet climate targets, though its immediate market impact is limited.
